A groan escaped the elegant queen's dainty lips as she tiredly slid off her heels. Sitting down, she lifted one of her feet and massaged them gently.
"Maybe we should take a vacation soon," her husband blurted out as he shrugged off his jacket.
"You know that would impossible, right?" The queen replied while switching feet.
"It would be nice though, Usako."
She wasn't used to anyone calling her Usagi. It had been five hundred since Crystal Tokyo arose from Usagi's powers, and since then she was referred to as Neo Queen Serenity. Sure, her senshi address her as 'Sere' or 'Sere-chan', but that was only when they were alone gossiping. Endymion still called her Usako, but just when they were alone in their sleeping chambers did that ever happen. She missed being the klutzy teenaged girl, but she loved being a mother and wife even more. Tsukino Usagi and Neo Queen Serenity were polar opposites; while Usagi would be indulging in a chocolate milkshake, the queen would either be taking care of her child or leading a meeting.
"I'm not Usagi Tsukino anymore, love," she replied with sadness embedded with her words.
He sat beside her, leaning so he could reach the sore soles of her feet and massaged them for her earning him a grateful smile in return.
"You will always be my Usako. And don't pretend you've lost your sweet tooth or you never trip when no one's looking."
"Except for you. You're always looking out for me, Mamo-chan," she replied smiling brightly.
"And I know you'll always do the same," the king said kissing her gently on the lips.
If you have any ideas, just let me know. Would you like more sad one-shots or some with Usagi, Mamoru, and Chibiusa as a family? Ideas are welcome!
